Eoin

What would Quebec look like today if its citizens had voted to become an independent country in 1995?

It would not have become an independent country. Instead we would have renegotiated the 1982 Constitution to sort out a new federation. Quebecers won't want to give up the dollar, their passports, free trade across the nation, etc.

Was the 1995 Quebec referendum about independence or about sovereignty, though?

Both it was a kind of tied sovereignty, they were basically just acknowledging the fact that they would remain a Canadian economic appendage even if they became independent, it was like a homerule type deal.

Québec's sovereigntists might have had the idea of radically reconfiguring the Canadian federation to include a nominally independent Québec in a union with the rest of Canada, but I am skeptical this would have been viable. For one, no one in the separatist movement seems to have considered if the rest of Canada would have wanted this. I suspect that Québec would have acceded to full independence in a relatively short time, as the hope for sovereignty-association failed.

There was a sovereignty association that lasted fifty years. Although it was in economic association, it had its own post office Olympic team and so forth.
As Quebec could Have had an autonomous native region, Hungary had an autonomous Croatia
